Yogurt for yeast infection

I am dead serious when I ask this guys.
No, I do not currently have any symptoms I need to see or ask my doctor about. I simply thought about how I’ve heard ‘yogurt is good for yeast infections.’
Now, that is literally all I’ve heard.
I’m extremely perplexed.
Do you just eat more yogurt or do you put it on your lady bits?
Please don’t comment saying ‘just go get some medicine from your doctor.’

I am honestly curious as to how it’s supposed to help a yeast infection and I need help from the sciencey side of BBC.

Eating it while on antibiotics helps replace the good bacteria that unfortunatly also die with antibiotics--a good probiotics does the trick too. I have heard plain yogurt soaked on a tampon and also, home made yogurt supositories (made by freezing said yogurt) can work as an effective treatment. I've also heard putting a garlic clove up there is a cure too.....I'll stick with my otc meds or prescription pill thanks 😂
